There are toxic plots of land all over New York City, hello Greenpoint, but Queens Crap has some maps showing the toxic parts of Queens. The maps they show are from Property Shark, but they also link to a site where you can see maps for all the neighborhoods of Queens.

If you want to check out how toxic your neighborhood is, head over to this Property Shark map and click "Toxic Sites" in the menu on the right side. Manhattanites, you're in for a nice surprise.
